Organization and Protection.

There certainly must be something Tn the recent order made to lnangu
 rate a move all along the line of live stock growing in Arizona 10 more fully organize and protect that which mas most too long lain at the door of chance. Heretofore 1t has been much 10 the dlScredt of sections richer by far than others in apparently lgnor. ing their wealth hy remaining inactive when thelr interest demanded con
 certed care and action. The evil ef, fleets of the motto of many sections "ro take care of himself and the devil take rest" has been shown and practiced until we are now glad to see that reverse has set in Tn earnest and that many disorganized sections and the practical stockmen therein are awakening. There is not a meeting of any Southern Arizona association but what the proceedings show Il to be abllze with enthusiasm, while in other localities the principal part of the irlgid proceedings seems to be the collection of dues and adjourning. Since the creation of the Live Stock Sanitary Commission ofthe Territory. by which it IS intended to protect it's herds from diseased sections and the successful formation of slIong Territorial Association 10 reg
 ulate its affairs within, there seems of late, as there should be.a strong desire to COG operate and give whatever aid they can by many local associations. In Apache county today, Its limited number of association members IS a power, noted and praised all over the Southwest for its efficiency in riddlng Its land of some of the most daring and troublesome horse and cattle thieves that ever infested the frontier, while in the Southern portion of the Territory, where ralds from Sonora and other states adjacent were car. ried on successfully by Mexican ban

dits, are now of the past, in both of which instances can this good work, besides many other acts, be traced directly To organization and no other power. A new association of Pinal
 ounty has been formed and starts out with brilliant prospects of soon forever stopping the wholesale appro- priation of cattle and horses, com posed as it is of men fearless Tn the right, but favoring none In the wrong. The Yavapal stockmcn are peparlng for an advance and propose 10 re-or- ganize their association, which thous h in membership roll trebleS that of any similar institution in A'izona. never- theless in actual working strengh, IL must be conceded is somewhat sh tered. The organ,zariou We hope to Sec perfected, ana men put 10 lhe helm that will guide regardless of benefit to any. Some of these regular horse and cattle stealing Cases that come up as willingly as the court ,and many other reXatlUuS questions to the detn
 :Den. of the Couhly's prosperity, will find solution not otherwise reached than by such concentrated move.
 Take the oplnIons of thus and that stockman on any of the stock laws now In force Tn this Territory and ln nlUe out of the ten you meet, some thug m lh=lr opinion IS dchrlcnt or this or tha, IS wrong. This IS tue 10 lack of organization and neither on, nor the other will find out what they all want until they meet as one m body. The efforts of few were partially successful at the rccent meet ing ot the Territorial Boald of Equal izauon 10 secure a Shght reduction from the unjustly high cattle, rates heretofore imposed by the boards of supervisors in this and other counties, but If a general cooperation had been extended the few sincere cattle men who earnestly pressed their claim, by representation in the Ter riIorlal Association of which they wcIe members, still further reduc. tion and more equitable rate would have been given all. We say organize on every range and then RO 10 work and throw your working force into a central association like the young one You now have, keep 1t alive in spirit withSour business, and the tagging line of dscontentment that now hol d, it, will be bfoken into shreds.

ANOTHER hero of the war has gone. Upon the eve of the assembling of the veterans at St. Louis, General J. B. Ricketts passed away, and by his death the country lost soldier who was a veteran in the most comprehensive and emphatic meaning of the word. He served in the Mexican and Semi nole wars, then in several Western Indian campaigns, and finally in the civil war. The country will remember him chiefly as the commander of the famous Ricketts' Battery, which did such desperate fighting in the first bat tie of Bull Run, and afterwards dis tinguished itself in almost every i'm portanl engagement in Virgina. He was over seventy years old at the time of his death, and died of a wound re- ceived at Winchester

TONTO BASIN.
A Closing Chapter In the History. of the Feuds of the
 Valley.

Valley,
 Deputy Sheriff, John Francls, E, r. Odell, two of the Jacobs boys and several others composing the posse that went from Flagstaff to join Sheriff Mulvenon in his last attempt to re- store Jaw and order to Tonto Basin, returned on Thursday afternoon. after having been in the saddle twenty days.
 It seems probable that this last effort to make a peace abiding place of Pleasant Valley will be successful. All of the TewKsburyS who have not been killed in the warfare are now under arrest, and only one of the op POsite facton, Tom Graham, is al liberty. There are, of course, some hangers on, on both sides that have net been captured. but they will cause but little trouble now that their leaders are dead, or in the clutches of the law.
 The Sher.fo party when they had joined fCrces at Payson, numbered nearly twenty, still much caution was required Tn their operations. An at tempt to lead the Graham party into a trap for thelr capture, was success ful In bringing John Graham and C. BlevlnS within range, when Sheriff Mulvenon stepped out and ordered them to hold up their hands, instead of doing so they went for their guns and the next minute there were two Gead men on the ground. The Tewkes burys surrendered peaceably when the officers approached them and Ed and Jim lewksbury, Jo. Bowyer and man named Roberts were placed under arrest and with Al. Rose and McGill, Of the Graham party, were taken to Prescott jail.
 The officers of the law are to be congratulated upon having apparently put an end 10 bloody and disgrace lul iued in which eleven men have beeu killed during the last two months and as many seriously wounded Or the Blevins family numbering six who took sides with the Grahams, only one re, mains alive, John, and he is m jail at St Johns having been wounded while resisting arrest hy Sheriff Owens, al HoItrook.

THE VETERANS AT ST LOUIS.

At each annual reunion of the Vet srans of the Grand Army of the Repub- lie there are some things which must be plainly apparent; more gray hairs; more stepping figures; and alas! more well remembered faces absent, some kept at home by the growing infrmities of age, and some laid away where,
 asleep { he brave who sink to rest
 By all their CountryS wishes blest"
 Among the lockers on as the Vete- rans passed through the streets of St. Louis this week, large majority be- longed to a new generation that have grown up since the members Of the Grand Army of the Republic laid down their arms and resumed the peaceful industries of life, which they had for saken to go forth on a nilsson of des- truction agianst bretheren Of their own race and nationality, whom mis- guided consels had induced to make war upon the Union. The preservation of which, these heroes deemed of more value to humanity than their own lives.
 Twenty-Five years ago the world looked on and wondered at the armies of which these men are the remnant. To day the world looks on to honor them, but to none are they so worthy of honor as to the younger generation of their own countrymen; who every day of their lives are reaping the fruits, in the general prosperity of our great country, that these veterans secured by their bravery, toll and suffering.
 In the history of mankind other armies have achieved as great victories Other men have fought as brayely fol the holy cause of truth and justice, but never before were the issues of so much importance to the welfare of humanity or success as strong a factor in aid ing the worlds progress. The principles for which they fought can never bt impeached unless the world should turr backwards, God be forgotten and right become wrong. As time rolls onward and may it roll smoothly for them their fame will grow richer and theil reputation become dearer to the heart of this nation. Cities will vie witt each other, as each golden autumn comes, in the desire to entertain and honor them, until the last unit of tht brave band shall have passed beyond the sound of human voices.

E. w. Merritt of Houlton, Maine,
asks: What do you think of the
Lucretia dewberry, the Russian null
berry and apricot?"
REPLY.-The Lucretia dewberry is
reported by many growers as large,
early, prolific and of the highest quail
ity. Perhaps all do not know that by
dewberry" is meant what is other
wise known as the low-bush black
berry" This variety Cor species) has
trailing habit, which makes it difficult
to manage in cultivation, especially as
it is also very thorny. 1t is also eX-
tremely tender, as regards winters
cold-even more so than the =" high
bush " blackberry, which often winter
kills, even in southern New England.
The PROSTATE habit of the dewberry,
however, is 50 favorable to winter pro-
lection that it is perhaps, in this re-
spect, preferable for amateur cultiva-
ton far north. BY spreading a good
mulch around under the plants the
fruit is kept out of the dirt, and in the
fall little more mulch Especially if
the planting is done on spot where
the snow lies welD will protect it from
severe freezing. The Lucretia is the
only dewberry yet introduced to cul-
tivation which is sufficiently productive
to be profitable, and we should advise
moderate trial of it. But do not buy
of any but reputable dealers, as the
wild dewberry is as abundant as it is
useless, and dealers of INSCRIPTIONS
character would not hesitate to fill their
orders, at high price, with such
worthless plants.
In regard to the mulberry and the
apricot we have several times answered
questions in these columns. Neither
of these are strictly iron-clad, but the
mulberry stands pretty we'll with us,
killing back more or less according to
the severity of the season. The april
cot is still less hardy, yet we believe
it would be practicable to grow it where
common cultivated plums generally sue
coed. They are about as large as plums,
but woolly, like peach. They differ
in quality, but are all good, either to eat
fresh or for sauce. Most, or perhaps
all that are sold, are seedlings, and no
distinct sorts have been selected and
propagated yet, SO far as we are aware of.

Floral Hints.

Those who cultivate Gala lilies
when reporting their plants have
doubtless noticed the rope-like roots
coied in the bottom of the pot, and
that these in turn are thickly set with
fibrous root-feeders, which are also
found on and around the plant Just be-
low the surface of the soil. Now bot
any teaches us that every root and
fiber, even the most tiny, has its. part
to perform in nourishing the plant:
hence it must be injurious to allow the
roots to become too dry for action and
to keep them in such condition for
months together. 1t is an error to per-
nit the roots of the Gala to become alb
solutely dry. They should have moist
ure enough when resting to keep them
from whitening.
The Gala should have at least six
weeks rest in summertime. If it be
set out of doors, let it be where the
wind will not handle it too roughly and
thus destroy the beauty of the leaves.
1t should be kept in an upright position
and have moisture enough to keep the
roots plump. The soil for callas should
be a rich one, and reporting should be
done in spring-time. If done in au-
tumn it will retard its blooming.
When disturbed in spring, callas have
the summer in which to form new
roots, and if given a warm, sunny
window in cold weather they will not
fail to bloom.
There are no plants better adapted
for the window garden than the abu-
tilons, or Towering naples" To
succeed well they should be in small
pots, kept as cool and given as much
light as possible and avoid frost. The
varieties are all rapid growers, and to
flower profusely the plant should be kept
pot-bound and occasionally watered
with liquid manure.
The conditions of successful growth
with the cactus are plenty of heat and
moisture when in growing state, and
absolute rest at all other times, during
which any warm out-of-the-way place
will answer. Give water very sparinglv-
just sufficient to keep the soil from be-
coming dusty The flower-buds are
formed while the plant is in growing
state, and if perfect they will at the
proper time begin to develop. Then
give the plant a sunny situation and
liberal watering.-Selected.

when green and dried. The Fameuse,
the Sops-of- Wine, Early Harvest and
Tetofsky are our earliest varieties-ri-
penng in August. The Golden Sweet
is our best sweet apple. We have
variety of Russets which are unfit for
use until ten or twelve months old.
We have kept them perfectly sound
and good for fourteen months, and do
not know how much longer they would
have kept. The Pippin is a splendid
fall apple, with foreign flavor some
thing like a pear. No orchard should
be without it. The Wealthy and the
Mcintosh Red are hardy and good
keepers. The Greeting is new variety
and yet to be tested.
Mr.. b. speaks strongly in favor of
mulching and careful pruning, and
criticises close planting. In all these,
points we agree with him, though close
planting in the rows, with wide rows, ),
is admissible with the slow-growing
varieties, such as Oldenburgh, Te-
tofsky, and most of the true IRON
clads."
1t is an error (perhaps of the printer)
to class Fameuse with Sops-of-Wine
and Tetofsky as a summer apple. Vel
low Transparent is far preferable to
Early Harvest, as it is larger, never
spots or cracks and is equally good.
We think in the long run he will find
Baldwin and Rhode Island Greening
too tender for the Mad River valley,
and, as his experience lengthens, he
will more and more incline to make his
selections from the true " iron-clad {"
varieties, which now include fruit of all
seasons, good size, great beauty and
high quality, with early bearing and
heavy cropping, a moderate growth
and entire freedom from winter-killing.

Mice and Apple-TreeS.

1t really does "make us tired" as
the slang goes, to see people continu-
ing to write as E. d. Richards of Ma
tick, Mass, writes in an exchange,
saying on this subject: "The only
remedy for their depredations is to
fortify against them, which can be
done effectually by stamping the snow
down about each tree, thus creating
solid mass, which will prevent the
enemy from reaching its prey" Mr..
Richards adds, "there is nothing new
in this suggestion which is quite
true, and he might add that there is no
value in it, either. Not that hard
trodden snow will not keep the mice
from the tree. 1t will do that, but
just look at the matter from the prac-
teal orchardist's point of view. Sup
pose a man has even one hundred
trees; every time it SHOWS he must at
once 90 out and tread down the snow
about every tree. If it SHOWS the next
night as much as one inch he must 60
again in the morning, for the mice will
run under this light snow, which just
suits them. And so it goes all winter;
while if he happens to be sick, or away
from home at any time after a snow, his
trees remain unprotected until the
snow is trodden again. Now in the
same time it takes to tread the snow
once, but in the pleasant days of early
November, we tie pieces of strip lath,
or for larger trees of old barrel slaves
or thin box stuff, around every tree
with one turn of common white cotton
wrapping Irvine. This is a perfect
protection against both mice and rab-
bits, and the strips once prepared and
applied are all ready the next fall &c
tie up again. AT that time dozens OF
Goblin worms have taken refuge under
these strips. Before retieing we just
turn them 'tother side out, and in q
few days the birds will take every
worm. In this way we save more il
worm-free apples than the cost of the
work, and have no worry all winter il
regard to the mice or the rabbits dam
aging the orchard.
